Renovation Closure (confirmed)
Sunday January 28: Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple
Renovation Closure (confirmed)
Monday February 19: Oakland California temple Renovation
Closure (confirmed)
Sunday March 4: Washington DC Temple Renovation Closure (confirmed)

begin on the Winnipeg Manitoba Temple

Sunday November 11 or 18: Barranquilla Colombia Temple Dedication

operating temple)
Early-to-mid May: Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple

Mid-May: Asuncion Paraguay Temple Rededication
Late May-early June: Durban South Africa Temple

Mid-June: Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple Dedication (165th

Early-to-mid August: Fortaleza Brazil Temple Dedication

Early-to-mid September: Raleigh North Carolina Temple

Mid-to-late September: October: Baton Rouge Louisiana

Mid-October: Lisbon Portugal Temple Dedication (167th
operating temple)
Mid-to-late October: Arequipa Peru Temple Dedication (168th
operating temple)
Mid-November: Oakland California Temple Rededication
Mid-December: Rio de Janeiro Brazil Temple Dedication
(169th operating temple)
NOTE: There is a slight possibility that the dedications
of the new temples in Arequipa Peru and Rio de Janeiro Brazil and the
rededication of the Oakland California Temple could potentially be delayed until
early 2020. As the next 18-21 months pass, the likelihood of that possibility
will be easier to determine, and I will pass all of that along as I am able to
do so.
2020:
Mid-to-late April: Winnipeg Manitoba Temple Dedication
(170th operating temple)
Mid-May: Tokyo Japan Temple Rededication
Early-to-mid September: Mesa Arizona Temple Rededication
Mid-November: Washington DC Temple Rededication
NOTE: I heard that 2018 and 2019 could be big years for
temple groundbreakings. If that proves correct, then many other temples could
also be dedicated during 2020 and 2021. As the next two years unfold, I will
have a better idea of when such events may occur, and they can then be added to
the other estimates above.

Post a Comment
In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
